What’s involved?

Unit 1 – Child Development (Exam)

You will learn about the ways in which growth and development are interlinked. This interlinking is why we often talk about children’s ages, as well as their stages of development. You will learn about children’s development in five broad areas: physical, cognitive, language, emotional, social and will see how these areas of development are interlinked.

Unit 2- Play in Early year’s settings (Coursework)

Do you remember playing when you were little? It is something that most children do. Whether it be splashing around in water or pretending to be a superhero, play seems to be an integral part of most people’s childhoods, although up until recently it was not particularly valued.

Today, things have changed. Play is seen as an important way in which children learn and a lot of time is spent in early years settings looking at how play can be used to promote children’s development.
